Things That Helped Me Beat The Boredom In July

July 31, 2019 •

Hope you’re enjoying your summer and finding lots of interesting things to help you beat the boredom. Here are a few of mine:

Antica Farmacista Prosecco Hand Wash: Those who know me know I love prosecco, so when I found this hand wash I was really excited. I love the smell and texture, and the packaging is just beautiful. Check out some of the other products by this company-so pretty.

Alexander Wang Tina Grommet Bootie: I’ve had my eye on these beauties for a few months and decided it was time to add them to my collection, plus they’re on sale! I’ll pair these with wide leg cropped jeans or a midi skirt. They do run big, I normally wear a 6.5 and needed a 5.5. Happy shopping!

Yvonne Ellen Prosecco Teacup and Saucer: Knowing I love prosecco, as I mentioned above, my daughter bought me this cute teacup and saucer. It’s so pretty and I feel like such a lady drinking my prosecco in fine china. ☺️

Outdoor Pillows: A few years ago my kids bought us a porch swing for our anniversary. It’s a relaxing place to sit and read, especially when surrounded by these comfy pillows. Knowing that I was going to leave the pillows outside and they’d be exposed to varying weather conditions I made sure to find pillows in fabric suitable for the outdoors.These pillows are also Oeko-Tex certified and free of harmful toxins or irritants, plus they look great on the swing.

Aqua Mini Wood Beaded Tote: How cute is this bag?! I love the idea of a beaded bag for the summer-it’s fun and can add so much to an outfit. I’d pair this with either a simple black summery dress or jeans and a t-shirt. This bag is anything but boring!

Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens: I may be a little behind on this one as people have been talking about it for a while, but if you have not had the opportunity to read Where The Crawdads Sing make some time! The story is incredibly moving and beautifully written. When I first started reading this book I immediately thought of my son who is a writer and loves southern literature. I’m hoping he reads this soon so we can talk about it together. This is a book you won’t want to put down and when you’re finished you’ll just want more.

LED Clip on Book Light for Reading in Bed at Night: I’m a night owl who loves to read in bed at night and my husband believes in early to bed, early to rise, so when I get in to bed I don’t want to wake him. Luckily I found this cute little light. It clips onto the book, can be directed to shine right on the page, and provides just the right amount of light so I can see, but it doesn’t disturb my husband. Plus when I’m done for the night it can be used as a bookmark. Win win!
